Chapter Thirty-Six

The Honeymoon Part 2

----------------

Day Two of Five (Cont.)

The two went down to the store and bought a large life raft that was the size of a queen sized bed.

"I like the bed aspect of it."
"No fucking me on this bed buddy! Not in the middle of the lake at least."

"I think we'd fall off."
"I think you proved that last night. Good thing we weren't in a hotel."

"Very good thing. Let's go blow this up. I know you got the lungs for it." He winked.

"Yah, but you do too."
"Don't you forget it."

The two walked back down to the beach.

"I'll go get the towels, you start blowin."
"Ma'am, yes, ma'am!" Darien took an army salute.

"Ha-ha." She said walking away.

She quickly retrieved the towels from their condo and returned to the beach where Darien had the raft blown up already.

"I told you I had the lungs for it."
"I know. Let's get on it and go."

"You hop on; I'll push us out a little bit. The current is blowing inshore to the left. I'll push us out so we come back about here on shore."
"You aren't going to tip me are you?"
"I promised not to throw you in didn't I? This is under the same category."
"Okay."

They pushed it in until it was to Serena's knees and she hopped on. Darien continued to push it until they were far enough away from shore and he hopped on.

"We should call Rini when we get back in the condo." Serena said snuggling closer to Darien.

"Yah, I wonder if she misses us yet. What do you think?" He waited for her to respond, but she didn't. "Serena?" He looked down to see her eyes closed. Sleeping. He began humming a song he'd come to like since he met Serena.

"I will never find another lover, sweeter then you.

And I will never find another lover, more perish then you.

Girl you are close to me just like my mother,

Close to me just like my father,

Close to me just like my sister,

Close to me just like my brother.

And you are the only one

You're my everything, and for you this song I'll sing.

And all my life,

I've been waiting for someone like you.

And I thank God that I, that I finally found you.

And all my life,

I've prayed for someone like you.

And I hope that you feel the same way too.

Yes I pray that you do love me too.

I promised that you'd never fall in love with a stranger,

You're all I'm thinkin' of,

I praise the Lord above.

For sending me your love,

I cherish every hug,

I really love you.

And all my life,

I've been waiting for someone like you.

And I thank God that I, that I finally found you.

And all my life,

I've prayed for someone like you.

And I hope that you feel the same way too.

Yes I pray that you do love me.

You're all that I've ever known

When you smile, oh my face it seems to glow.

You turned my life around,

You picked me up when I was down.

You're all that I ever know.

When you smile, my face glows.

You pick me up when I am down.

And I hope that you feel the same way too.

Yes I pray that you do love me.

And all my life,

I've been waiting for someone like you.

And I thank God that I, that I finally found you.

And all my life,

I've prayed for someone like you.

Yes I pray that you do love me.

And all my life,

I've been waiting for someone like you.

And I thank God that I, that I finally found you.

And all my life,

I've prayed for someone like you.

And I hope that you feel the same way too.

Yes I pray that you do love me."

"Yes I do Darien. I love you." She said before kissing him.

"You were awake?"
"I woke up during the last verse. I forget how good you can sing sometimes."
"You're not too bad yourself."

"Looks like we're almost to shore."

"I can push it back out."
"No, I think I might fall asleep. Plus it looks like it's already noon. We should get back and call Rini. Then we can head out into town and get some food."

"Good idea. Let's go."

Darien got back into the water and pushed the raft to the shore.

The two then returned to their condo and Serena called Rini and put the phone on speaker.

"Hello?"
"Hey Josh. It's Serena."
"Oh, hey. How's the honeymoon?"
"Great. How are you?"
"Fine."
"Is Rini there?"
"Sure. I'll go get her."

There was a moment of silence and then, "MOMMY!"

Serena giggled. "Yah I think she misses us now."

"I think so too."
"Mommy?"
"Yes sweetie. How are you?"
"I miss you. Are you coming home now?"

"Not for a few days."

"Are you having fun at Aunt Mina's?" Darien asked.
"Hi daddy! Yah. Aunt Mina is buying stuff to make cookies. We're making them later!"

"You save some for me."
"I'll save some for you guys."

"We'll be home in three days."

"I got to go. Aunt Mina is here."

"Okay. Bye sweetie."
"Bye munchkin."

"Bye mommy. Bye daddy! I love you!"
"Love you too." Both said before hanging up the phone.

"She doesn't miss us until she hears our voices." Serena said.

"Let's get some food. I still want my desert." Darien said pulling her from her seat.

"You hungry, hungry man."
"Yes I am. Come on."

They got back around dinner time and put away the few groceries they needed.

"What do you want for dinner?" Serena asked as she poked her head in the fridge.

He walked behind her and squeezed her ass. "This looks good."
"You horny man. When did you get so perverted?" She asked standing up.

"The day we created Rini." He said pulling her up for a kiss.

She put her hand in front of her mouth. "Sorry sir, this is a strictly desert food. You have to eat your dinner first."

"Fine, let's have something quick then. Uhhhh…bagel sandwiches. Those take what? Five minutes to cook?"
"Sure. I'll get the stuff. You preheat the oven."

He walked over and got the pans out and preheated it.

Serena prepared them and stuck them in the oven.

"I'll be right back." She said before walking into her bedroom. Where's that damned bag? She asked herself searching through her suitcase. Here you are. She then stripped her clothes and put on the gown. She then looked for her robe, which was carelessly on the floor in the bathroom. How – oh yah – Darien prevented me from taking my shower yesterday. She threw that on over her gown and tied the belt. She then walked back out and saw Darien at the table with two plates of food. "You really couldn't wait could you?"
"Nope. Now come eat so I can have my desert." He said before taking a bite.

Serena took a seat and started eating. Before too long, they were both full.

He got up swiftly and pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately.

When he finally pulled away, she said, "You know, I think I'm in for a shower."

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I want my desert."

"What do you think that kiss was?"
"Pre-desert."

"Well I do have a present for you."
"What would that be."
"Find out for yourself. Just pull this." She said handing him the belt.

He gently pulled and pushed the robe to the floor. He stared at her speechless.

"Now I think I want my shower."
"Hell fucking no. Come on. As much as I love that gown on you, I think it'll look better carelessly tossed somewhere in our bedroom." He said before sweeping her up and kicking open the bedroom door.

Day Three of Five

"So what do you want to do today?" Darien asked.

"Lay in your arms all day. I don't want to leave."
"I don't even want to get dressed." He grinned into her hair.
"I bet you don't, now it's like six in the morning, are you actually going to let me sleep?"

"Why would you ask that?"
"Because last time I tried to fall asleep, you decided to fondle me and screw me some more, so it's not like I had a say."
"Yes I'll let you sleep. I think I'll sleep too."

"Good night."

"No, good morning." He said before giving into sleep.

"Very good morning."
